What Is the Benefit of Off-Chain Settlement for Institutional Privacy?

Off-chain settlement allows institutional trades to be executed and settled without broadcasting the details, such as size, price, and counterparty, to the public blockchain. This preserves the privacy of their trading strategies and prevents market participants from front-running or exploiting their large orders, which is critical for maintaining best execution.
